Lyrics
Once Upon A Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once upon a time, everything I thought of
Somehow seemed to rhyme
The wise were always old
And the young were always showed
But very early on, I was spun a different yarn
Tried to get along, just by knowin right from wrong
The best offer is a helping hand
Everyone needs the promised land
And whether you're young or old
Never ever let yourself get put on hold
I would sit on grandpas's knee..just to wear his hat
And listen to the tales
From his world of make believe..
As the child comes of age, leave him alone
To turn the page
Luck is the spine..a broken promise of another's mind
Straight goods really are what money cannot buy
Choose your side, and walk with pride
There's no reward for suicide
